Abstract
The Flex System EN4132 2-port 10Gb Ethernet Adapter delivers high-bandwidth and industry-leading Ethernet connectivity for performance-driven server applications in enterprise data centers, high-performance computing (HPC), and embedded environments. Clustered databases, web infrastructure, and high frequency trading are just a few applications that achieve significant throughput and latency improvements, resulting in faster access, real-time response, and more users per server. Based on Mellanox ConnectX-3 EN technology, this adapter improves network performance by increasing available bandwidth while decreasing the associated transport load on the processor.

Introduction
The Flex System EN4132 2-port 10Gb Ethernet Adapter delivers high-bandwidth and industry-leading Ethernet connectivity for performance-driven server in enterprise data centers, high-performance computing (HPC), and embedded environments. Clustered databases, web infrastructure, and high frequency trading are just a few applications that achieve significant throughput and latency improvements, resulting in faster access, real-time response, and more users per server. Based on Mellanox ConnectX-3 EN technology, this adapter improves network performance by increasing available bandwidth while decreasing the associated transport load on the processor. The following figure shows the adapter.
Features
- The Flex System EN4132 2-port 10Gb Ethernet Adapter has the following features:
- RDMA over Ethernet
- ConnectX-3 provides efficient RDMA services, delivering low-latency and high-performance to bandwidth and latency sensitive applications.
- Sockets acceleration
- Applications using TCP/UDP/IP transport can achieve industry-leading throughput over 10 GbE. The hardware-based stateless off load and flow steering engines in ConnectX-3 reduce the processor overhead of IP packet transport, freeing more processor cycles to work on the application. Sockets acceleration software further increases performance for latency sensitive applications.
